Is it possible to fix Alfine hub gears? (lemm.ee)

Normally when gears wear out you just replace them, but hub gears (like Shimano Alfine) this means rebuilding the entire wheel.

Any recommendations for getting them working better without a lot of cost & expertise?

How did you wear out an Alfine hub 😳 Usually those just need oil bath...?

It might be worth getting a secondhand replacement hub and giving it an oil bath & grease, or swap the hub internals with a secondhand one to avoid needing to rebuild your wheel
